Hi guys,
I want to build a new rig because my old one just died recently. Found out it was the motherboard so I don't want to replace it because the entire rig is pretty old. I've had it since 2004. So at the moment I have $1000 in my pocket to spend. I plan on saving to buy for the rest of the other stuff like LCD and new case later on when I get some cash. So if you guys could help me decide which parts are best to buy. I specifically want this for gaming since I'm a hard core gamer. Some things I should note:
- On my second computer I have 2 8800GTs 512 in it so I am able to just take one temporarily until I get the cash to buy something more decent. After that I do want to keep saving to buy more and more parts. so eventually I want to be running tri sli gfx cards.
- Also when I buy the ram I could run off 2gb for the time being until I get cash so I can go 4.
- I need to get a new computer asap because I have work on there that needs to be processed and completed which I am unable to do on my second computer because there is some sort of incompatibility and it doesn't detect the hard drives at all. Although the hard drives still work got my friend to test them on his old computer. So it's best I get something done now in order to access these files and complete my work.
- Not only am I a gamer I do a lot of work relating to 3D and rendering.
-So I plan on buying the parts bit by bit and running off what I can. Like I said I am able to use my current monitor and case for the time being. Although I guess I will need a better psu.
- My rad9600 gfx card and 3x256mb ddr was tested and it is still working. So plan on selling those. I guess will make another $100
- I live in Australia so not entirely sure how much usd that is, I think its about 800. This site is where I used to buy my parts from if your interested, there all
shops from australia so if you find some handy links that would be great:http://www.shopbot.com.au/
I used to build computers from time to time a few years back. So at the moment I haven't actually had a good look at all the benchmarks of the new hardware to know which is best. Although I have been recommended to look at a few parts.
Help me decide on which to buy.
msu:?
csu: i7 core, don't know which I should get.
ram: 2gb for the time being.
gpu: 8800GT 512 as PLACEHOLDER. Looking to get gtx series card.
If you have any questions, fire away.
Thanks in advance
